Any chance of getting search on the mobile site? You can use google but sometimes for simple things I just want convenience.

Excellent. Thanks.

On mobile, can notifications be a separate header to profile? If I'm on a dodgy mobile data connection it's a pain to load my avatar etc. And add another click into the process.

A very minor complaint I know!
(I guess its cos this place is so goddamn perfect)

This thread: http://thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/45346/i-can-t-do-posh#latest

won't open in safari (iOS and Yosemite), unless I have aVPN connected. Very strange- never had the same issue before.

Error says "the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes happens when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes , and then try again", which is odd, cos it was saying that this morning as well..

The Good trader list used to be updated all the time to give a positive count of the number of good feedback reports, but the person doing it doesn't come here much anymore. It was fine while it was being updated, but as time goes on it is less and less accurate.

It was a pretty major task given how much traffic there is on the Classifieds. Unfortunately (very unfortunately) Mr Jooky had a number of other life challenges to deal with, so couldn't maintain it.

We need another volunteer to take that on ...

Just wondering if this might be an opportunity to explore other feedback methods? As you say, the current system is a big job to take on for anyone and the longer it goes unmanned the less effective it becomes.

I've noticed Basschat get a few mentions whenever this topic arises, could be worth considering?

Having a link of some sort from you profile or sig to your trade feedback could work well, I've no idea how/if it could be implemented though!

I think the reliance on a volunteer to update the current thread is always going to be problematic.

I am now 'Member, jcon'. I'm alarmed! What's going on please @monquixote ?

You posted in the most recent JCon thread that was removed from SC. There was speculation that he'd managed to acquire an account that we hadn't spotted, and was reading - and reacting to - the information being posted in that thread.

To prevent him doing that, or other scammers in future, that thread was placed in a hidden section of the forum that is accessible by invitation only. People who had posted in that thread, who are known to us as not being JCon, were given automatic access to that section so that the debate could be continued. You need a special permission, over and above being a confirmed member, to be able to access that section of the forum. We've called that special permission "JCon".

Deadman · July 2015

Phew. Thanks for clearing that up Tony.

I think the sticky'd posts should be of a brighter colour than what they are now to catch the eye

hobbio · August 2015

Has something happened to the formatting? It's looking a bit screwy at the moment.

Feature suggestion: have a way to close a thread as a duplicate.

The same questions naturally get asked many times - this feature would allow all the responses to be funnelled into a single thread, with closed duplicates being appended with a link to the original thread.

That would make it easier for people to find answers within the site, and probably also improves the page ranking of coalesced threads by search engines like Google.

This seems to be quite effective on sites like stackoverflow.

Now waiting for somebody to tell me that this suggestion is itself a duplicate...

Bug: "@joebloggs commented on FLAG: <title>"

The following just happened:

1. I flagged a post

2. I got a popup in the bottom-left of my browser saying "@joebloggs just commented on FLAG: <title>" (and also an email notification with the same message)

3. When I click on the link (in the popup, or the email), I go to a page saying

Permission Problem

You don't have permission to do that.

4. I went to the thread I had flagged, and noticed that @joebloggs has just commented on it

That seems a bit broken.

As an aside: there doesn't seem to be any feedback on flagged threads - i.e. having flagged something, I don't know whether / when a modmin has seen and acted on the flag. Having that feature might encourage more people to raise flags - at the moment one might get the impression (mistaken, I'm sure) that doing so has no effect.

"Query failed: connection to localhost:9312 failed (errno=111, msg=Connection refused)." is a message I get when clicking on a discussion title from 'recent discussions'. Just appears at the top of the page. I'm using the standard android browser if it matters. Doesn't seem to interfere with owt but thought @digitalscream might want to know.

TTony · September 2015

@djspecialist

Combining threads (and/or splitting them) is a modmins function.

When you flag a post, a new thread is auto-created in a modmin section to prompt a discussion about the flagged post. Being in a modmin section, you can't see the thread. But the software defines you as being the starter of the thread, so you get alerts when we comment on it.

@dchwhite - should be OK now.

Smashing - no message now, thank you

Don't know if anyone else has this issue, but when I click on links on The Fretboard (let's say it's a post with a link pointing to another post on the forum), when I click the link, the new page opens, but with "Howdy Stranger" at the top as though I'm not logged in.

I've not been logged out, so why does the forum think I have when I click Fretboard links?

This not been answered? I get logged out if I use the back button on my browser when using the main site ( not an issue on mobile) although not if I click on a link, eg Recent Discussions, instead. Not a major problem but sounds similar to @Rox

markslade07 · September 2015

Same here.....seemed to start more after the recent ios9 update, but not sure it its related. Gets a bit annoying though

Jookyjr · September 2015

Me too, but it tends to be that some links take you to

http://thefretboard.co.uk

where that happens, and others to

http://www.thefretboard.co.uk

where it doesn't

Jookyjr · September 2015

And then of course I just tried that and it didn't happen this time

How do I report a Discussion on the mobile site? I know I could PM a mod and hope for the best but there doesn't seem to be a flagging system? :-?

bingefeller · October 2015

I've been having unresponsive page problems all day on TFB. @digitalscream All other sites are fine and it was OK yesterday.

Moss · October 2015

^ I've had a bit of this too

@TTony - not just me then! If the answer is PM a mod then should, somehow, there be a list of mods? Actually, I was only looking on here as I have this thing now on iPad if I post a photo or YouTube clip it disappears when I save the comment, I then have to go into Edit, re post and it works then. This isn't ruining my world but it's an odd quirk that didn't used to happen.

bingefeller · October 2015

When I hide a sub-forum it doesn't actually hide it....

Any ideas?

digitalscream · October 2015

@bingefeller - that's because you've got all categories selected on the left. If you select followed categories, it gets hidden.

All categories is there so you can unhide stuff as well

bingefeller · October 2015

ahhhhhh so that's why. thanks.

SC gets hidden when I select followed categories, even though I don't have it set to hidden...

Howdy, Stranger!
